1795
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1795
Translated by Thomas Carlyle
A novel written in the late 18th century. The narrative follows the journey of Wilhelm Meister, a young man grappling with the pursuit of his artistic passions, the complexities of love, and societal expectations. The story begins to delve into his romantic entanglements and ambitions towards the theater, setting the stage for both personal and professional growth. The opening of the work paints a vivid picture of the characters and themes that will unfold throughout. It introduces Wilhelm's passionate love for Mariana as they navigate their feelings amidst external pressures, including Mariana's connection to another suitor. As Wilhelm revels in the joys of love, he simultaneously experiences internal conflict regarding his aspirations and the expectations set by his father. Meanwhile, Barbara, an old servant, brings her own insights and advice, suggesting a mix of pragmatism and care as she interacts with the younger characters. The initial chapters establish a foundation of relationships, ambition, and the influence of societal norms, all revolving around the central character's desire for fulfillment in both love and art.
